aggregate-binder are then filled by spreading on mortar made from special, ultra rapid-hardening
hydraulic binders (such as Ultratop by Mapei S.p.A) to form a layer with an average thickness of 15
mm to 20 mm. 2 or 3 days after applying the mortar, the surface is dry polished using a special

treated with a coat of two-component epoxy primer (such as Primer SN by MAPEI S.p.A.) and
broadcast with quartz sand (such as Quartz 1.2 by Mapei S.p.A.). The surface of the floor is then
protected by impregnating it with a special stain-resistant and oil and water-repellent finish (such as
Mapecrete Stain Protection by Mapei S.p.A.).
In order to make routine cleaning and maintenance operations easier, an even coat of special metallic
wax (such as Mapelux Lucida or Mapelux Opaca by MAPEI S.p.A.) is then applied over the entire
surface.
